I want to try out Lubuntu 11.04 using Wubi. However, the Wubi installer doesn't have Lubuntu listed on the menu of Desktop Environments.

Is there any way to install Lubuntu using Wubi or is it not supported?

after installing any of the other versions through wubi, follow these steps:

Do a normal Wubi install and then use either Synaptic Package Manager or the Software Center to install the desktop environment of your choosing.

Good luck!

Thanks for your fast reply. I will try to install Lubuntu within Ubuntu using the link you provided.

I think that this would be a good feature for a future release of Lubuntu or Wubi, especially as it will become an official member of the Ubuntu family starting with Oneiric Ocelot.
